Newmatter Mod-T connection

I've been using simplify3d with fantastic results on my Solidoodle 2 and have recently received a crowdfunded reward NewMatter Mod-T and I'm trying to use it with Simpify3d. There is some discussion on the Newmatter site concerning settings/ini files for astroprint and generating the gcode, My problem is I can't get Simplify3d to even see a port to select when I try and connect to a setup up machine. My computer is a MacMini running WIndows 10 via bootcamp. I've rotated through all the baud rates with the thought that maybe a mismatch there is preventing something but no luck. There is little information out there on the board type on the printer itself so I selected marlin (and all the others for troubleshooting, to no effect).
I know this is a just released printer so info will be lacking on it, but there will soon be a few thousand users out there as their printers are delivered so if it can be supported via simplify3d I'd love to get it working.

Thanks

Why don't you email the company that makes the printer and ask them about how it communicates. Does it even use a USB serial port? You're not going to have any hope of getting S3D to add support for it if no one can provide any information about how it works.
